I have relapsed many times over the years; it is part of this terrible illness. I am in a very good place right now, but one day it may be different. It is my hope that something I say will be helpful to someone who is currently struggling. There is a lot of bravery here in people who fall off but keeping getting back on the recovery train. I just try to be compassionate, caring and understanding of all of our complicated journeys to sobriety and peace.
